Abstract

The authorship or origin of the 18th-century painting with the representation of Saint Joseph are unknown. We only know that it was transferred to the church from the decaying chapel of the Tenczyn castle. On canvas, the saint was depicted in the traditional iconographic convention with Baby Jesus in his arms, and therefore as his guardian and protector. The saint's attire is covered by a silver robe decorated with opened flowers.
